What a Crazy Week!  

Monday, May 12, 2008



Steve was unusually super excited for his birthday this year. He was totallly stressing me out that I needed to do something a little extra for his big day. Being as how it was a Monday, he went to work as usual. At lunch I kidnapped him from work and we went on a hike to the spirit cave and took a picnic. Later that evening some friends and family got together at the park for cake and ice cream and a little friendly competition of volleyball. I think I passed the test, and he had a great birthday.



We are absolutely loving living so close to the outdoors. It's Blanding's number one selling point for us. Just 5 minutes from town my boys can discover and explore so many fun things. It's going to be a great summer!!

So notice Parker in the green sweats and striped yellow shirt!! I'm an awesome mom when it comes to dressing my kids. Actually this was the start of the other exciting part of the week for us. Parker had thrown up in the van on the way, and this is what was available for an emergency. Luckily we just carried him for the hike and he had a great time too.
On Thursday Parker was admitted to the hospital for dehydration resulting from Roto Virus. (I guess that's how it's spelled.) Anyway, we got to come home on Saturday morning and spend the weekend at home. Luckily he is doing much better and we're crossing our fingers that we haven't contaminated any siblings or cousins. It's no fun seeing your precious little rowdy boy so listless and miserable in a hospital bed. But he was such a trooper! Just glad he's feeling better. I don't know how families with chronic illnesses do it. My heart goes out to them.
